For the contoured surface weld joint and groove,
I am attempting to use profile sweep (also solid sweep) to cut a shape into a solid along the 3d curve on cylindrical surface.

Please take a look at the attached simplified model.

I've gotten the sweep along the cylindrical path on 2D plane, e.g. the sweep of cut_sweep_1.

But, I couldn't get the sweep along a 3D curve on the cylindrical surface I want.

Please advise me how to solve this.
